Part 9
Ishraru reached home.. Raman carrying sleeping ruhi in arms.. He made ruhi sleep comfortably on bed covering her with blankets... He settled beside ruhi caressing her forehead deeply in some thoughts.. Ishita noticed raman was very anxious for some reason.. She settled beside him and patted his shoulders questioned him with eyes.. he looked into ishta's eyes... Not able to control anymore he brokedown crying hugging her tightly... Raman, kya hua.. Ishita was completely clueless of his behavior just trying to control his cries patting him on his back... Ishita came to a conclusion that he is still not out of the car incident..
I: raman.. Babu bas karo... See me ruhi both are fine, why are you crying then...
R: jill, baby mujhe bahut dar lag rah hai...he snuggled more into her..
I:she hugged him tightly to her heart... Kya hua raman.. Batao toh sahi.. You are scaring me raman...
R: kuch nahi... Please stay with me don't go leaving me ishita..
I: where will I go raman.. Why are shivering like this babu... She said trying to get up from bed...
Raman held her tightly and said please.. Don't go be with me... Ishita was not able to see raman in this condition.. Tears started flowing through her cheeks...
She made him lie on bed and settled beside him...immediately he crushed her in his arms.. Just like she would disappear if he would loosen his grip..
Ishita was not getting a single hint for his behavior..
It was mid night... Ishita kept her hand on bed searching for raman without opening her eyes..She dint find him.. She heard water dripping sound from wash room... She waited for him to return.. It was more than 15 mins he dint show up.. Ishta knocked the washroom door calling him out slowly...
I: raman, are you ok..
He dint respond.. Now she was very scared.. Thinking of the happenings earlier this night..Raman.. she loudly banged the door..
R: haan ishita am coming.. Came a weak shivering voice...
He came out completely wet with dress on... Ishita was shocked to see him Like this..
I: raman, what happend why are you all wet?
R: ishita I opened showers faucet by mistake...
She knew he was leing for some reason... And something was running in his mind.. She took a towel and statred drying his head... Aap bhi na raman.. You are grown up just for name sake.. Ek dam bache wali harkat karte ho.. Ruhi is better than you... He was silently listening to her.. She handed him a fresh pair of dress and told him to change...
Ishita's mind was battling to know what was in raman's mind... Her heart clenched to see raman in this condition... In the past 7 years of their married life she had not once seen raman like this..She was waiting for raman not taking her eyes off the washroom door...
Raman's pov:
Raman's condition was worse since he saw ashok... He felt like shouting his heart out to ishita... He dint want to hide such a dark past life of his to ishita.. But he was very scared to loose her... All thoughts were drumming in his heads.. He just felt like banging his head to the wall... That's when he heard ishita calling his name out...
Haan, am coming ishita.. He quickly changed his dress and came out to see ishita with worried face..
I: kya hua mera baby ko... She held his face lovingly and asked him...
R: ishita, You and ruhi are only my world.. I can't live without you two...
I: I know raman, see that's what I told we are completely alright.. You need not worry..
R: Hmm, you will not leave me and go na... I'll die without you...
I: kya bakwas kar rah ho.. Ab jyaada hogaya... Chup chap so jao.. Kuch bhi bole ja rahi ho... You are not ready to tell what is in your mind talking all nonsense...
R: ishita if anyone comes and tell bad about me what will you do... You will not go away from me na...
I: Ayo raman .. I will alwayz be with you jaan no matter what.. Even if that god comes and tell bad about you also il not go leaving... Enough now come sleep...
Raman was little relaxed hearing ishita's answer... Both slept cuddled into each others arms...
Alarm beeps... Ishita wakes up to alarm...
She sees raman cuddled into her... She pecks his forehead.. And gets up to complete her morning chores...
She comes out with dripping hair spreading her fresh fragrance throughout the room... She finds raman still sleeping, which is unusual... She goes to him and checks on him... Raman was shivering under the sheets.. She touches his body wich was burning with high temperature...
I:(st) Ayo murugan... Yeh kya hai his body is burning with fever...
Raman's sleep was disturbed by then...as he was feeling cold, he wanted to feel warmth against his body... He was pulling ishita on him... And mumbling something which was not clearly audible to her...
I: raman... Give me a minute baby, Il just make a call to the doc and be back...
Ishita dialed doctor's number and informed him about raman's condition...
That's when little ruhi went straight jumping on her dad to wake him up...
Ru: papa... You are still sleeping wake up ... Mama ne aap ko bhi bigad diya kya... Paaapa, she was on raman pulling his blankets...
Ishita heard some noise and rushed towards the room...
I: rooh ( almost shouting), get down.. Don't disturb papa... He is unwell beta..
Ru: mama kya hua papa ko... Asked in a sad tone...
I: rooh, come to mama she called her daughter lovingly and took her on lap said baby papa is having fever... Doctor uncle is coming he will treat papa... And papa will be alright.. Now like a good girl you should not disturb papa.. You go get ready for school.. Shravu will be waiting for you na..
Ru: but mama I don't want to go to school.. I want to take care of papa..
I: betu..mama is der na to take care of papa.. So, rooh will go to school by the time you come back from school papa will be alright..
Ruhi sadly accepted for this and walked towards her room...
By the time doctor reached...
I: doctor.. Come in... Check raman na.. I dont know what happened... His temperature is so high...
D:mrs. Bhalla please...relax let me check him first... He examined raman said itz just a viral fever need not worry about it..and gave him injection.. And few tablets..and told that he need complete rest...
I: thank you doctor.. And bid send off to doc and settled beside raman caressing his forehead...
Ruhi came ready in her uniform with sad pout on her face..
Ru: mama how is papa now...
I: betu papa will be alright ... You go shravu will be waiting for you...
Ruhi kissed raman and left to school sadly...
I: raman, dekho aapki princess is so sadly going to school... Get well soon babu.. She said keeping her head on his cheeks...
Suddenly raman got up from bed jerking her... And rushed to washroom throwing up completely... Ishita ran behind raman holding his head... He was very weak to walk... She held his hand and wrapped his hands around her shoulder and made him lie comfortable on bed...
She covered him with blankets.. He signaled her to hug him.. She cuddled into him tightly...patting his back to sleep...
